Today, we’re looking at the lyrics of a popular song by Nancy Ajram, a Lebanese singer. The song (video below) is in the Colloquial Lebanese Arabic.

 

 

مَـا فِيِّ أَعِيشْ إِلَّا مَعَكْ

I can’t live, but with you..

 مَا فِيِّ أَكُونْ إِلَّا إِلَكْ

I can’t be, but for you 

مَـا فِيِّ أَعِيشْ إِلَّا مَعَكْ

I can’t live, but with you..

 مَا فِيِّ أَكُونْ إِلَّا إِلَكْ

I can’t be, but for you

لَوْنْ عُيُونَكْ غَرَامِي

Your eyes’ colour is my love

 دَخْلَكْ صَـدِّقْ كَلَامِي

Please believe what I say
قَلْبِي وْرُوحِي مَعَكْ

My heart and soul are with you

 

لَوْ عَنَّكْ بَعَّدُونِي

If they take me away from you,

تِبْقَي وَحْدَكْ بَعْيُونِي

you’ll be the only one in my eyes (I’ll see only you)
اِحْكِينِى وْ اِسْمَعَكْ  

You talk to me and I listen > (I listen to you as you talk to me)

 

مَـا فِيِّ أَعِيشْ إِلَّا مَعَكْ

I can’t live, but with you..

 مَا فِيِّ أَكُونْ إِلَّا إِلَكْ

I can’t be, but for you

لَوْ مَهْمَا صَارْ

Whatever happens,

مَا بِبْقَي لَحَالِي

I won’t be on my own
اِرْمِينِي بِالنَّارْ

Fire me (kill me),

أَهْوَنْ لِي كِرْمَالِي

it’s better, please

(Death is a better choice)

لَوْنْ عُيُونَكْ غَرَامِي

Your eyes’ colour is my love

 دَخْلَكْ صَـدِّقْ كَلَامِي

Please believe what I say
قَلْبِي وْرُوحِي مَعَكْ

My heart and soul are with you

 
لَوْ عَنَّكْ بَعَّدُونِي

If they take me away from you,

تِبْقَي وَحْدَكْ بَعْيُونِي

you’ll be the only one in my eyes (I’ll see only you)
اِحْكِينِى وْ اِسْمَعَكْ

تْعَوَّدْتْ عْلَيْكْ

I got used to you,

 وَاعْطَيْتَكْ حَنَانِي

and gave you all my compassion
رُوحِي بْأِيدِيْكْ

My soul is between your hands

 وْحَيَاتِي وْكَيَانِي
